IMPROVEMENT IN CHILDS CARRIAG ES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 112,662, dated March14, 1871.

Be it known that I, WILLIAM B. WHITNEY, of Leominster, in the county ofWorcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Baby-Carriage;-

and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to makeand use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing,forming part of this specification.

My invention relates to hand-carriages for children and consists in animproved construction thereof, as hereinafter first described,

' and then pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a side elevation of thecarriage, one of the wheels being shown in dotted lines. 2 is atop orplan View.

, Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is the body. B

Fig.

represents the lower springs, which bow downward, and are fastened tothe axle O, as represented. The front ends of these springs areconnected with the body by carriage-spring joints, as seen at D. Theirrear ends are connected with the upper springs, E,by loop-joints, asseen at F.

the front ends of the upper springs are fastened. H represents braces,which are firmly fastened to the back of the body A and to the ends ofthe cross-bar G. Only the central portion of Gr is curved; the ends aredivided as seen in Fig. 2, by which construction the bar is made lightand the connection strong and durable.

By this arrangement of parts an extremely light, easy, and durablecarriage for babies or infant children is provided, and its advantagesover the common baby-carriages in use must be apparent to all.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent The cross-bar G, upper and lower springs, E B, bracesH, and bracket D, combined, as described, for hanging the body of achilds car- 'riage;

WM. B. WHITNEY.
